intensively discussing and researching the prospects for EU-Brazil relations, and weβre now glad to present our work to you.
For many of us, holidays are approaching, but before we start our summer break, you are invited to check out our upcoming events. We hope to see you all in September well-rested and ready for more progressive ideas!

With this dossier, the Progressive Post puts in the spotlight a continent that the EU will increasingly rely on in the future, but in which the bloc should be more present too for its defence of fundamental values and human rights, as Spanish prime minister Pedro SΓ‘nchez has stated at the beginning of the Spanish Presidency of the Council of the EU.

By Gesine Schwan
The EU's approach to asylum and migration is failing because it is contrary to the values that the Union proclaims. A pragmatic and humane
response to the challenges posed by the refugee protection crisis can be found in municipalities and their active civil society. Gesine Schwan outlines a detailed proposal on how to engage municipalities and civil society initiatives in the relocation and reception of migrants and asylum seekers. The proposal will not be a panacea for the complex EU migration and refugee policy. Yet, the tools illustrated in this book could benefit the hosting communities as much as the newcomers. Read more.

Do you know how much the need for care is projected to grow with the EUβs population ageing?
|
|
|
|
|
|
According to projections, the total age-dependency ratio could accelerate acutely and is expected to reach 76.1% by 2050.
Our
next policy lunch of the Care4Care series will discuss the importance of recognising care as a priority for EU sustainable investments. If well managed, the care economy can
generate positive economic impacts and become a major vector for sustainable growth.
